Library
Arlington Public Library's Art Committee is seeking artists from the Metro DC region who create art related to Food and Food Sustainability, for a juried exhibition April 2 - April 30, 2010.
This exhibition will be held in conjunction with the Library's annual Arlington Reads program. The book chosen for Arlington Reads 2010 is The Memory of Old Jack by Wendell Berry - the musings of an elderly Kentucky farmer on the "truth and integrity of the land." Inspired by the book, we are looking for art that uses food as a theme or element, or explores the ideas of "You are what you eat," what we eat, where/how we eat, who/what eats, the nature of food, where it comes from, how it sustains us/the land, etc.
